5 biggest mistakes WWE made with this year's Draft

#3 WWE choosing not to draft Andrade at all

What a difference a year makes. In the 2019 WWE Draft, Andrade was a first-round draft pick for Monday Night RAW and was a staple for the company appearing consistently across both brands throughout the calendar year.

Andrade even enjoyed a 151-day title reign as United States Champion before dropping the title to Apollo Crews in April of this year. Fast forward to the 2020 WWE Draft and the former titleholder wasn't drafted at all. Instead, people such as Titus O'Neil, Riddick Moss, and Arturo Ruas were drafted in the late rounds instead.

While it has been suggested that Andrade wasn't drafted due to him having elective surgery which will require some time off, this doesn't make any sense. Because Riddick Moss is currently sidelined with an injury himself at the moment, and his timetable to return to TV and presumably RAW Underground is currently unknown.

And as great of a human being that Titus O'Neil is, not counting his appearances on RAW Underground, he wrestled a total of two matches on Monday night RAW since he was once again drafted by the brand in the sixth round in 2019. If WWE didn't use him then surely they aren't going to use him now.

Andrade is a tremendous talent who deserved the benefit of the doubt to be drafted. Even if he wasn't going to be on TV for a while it would have shown faith in him by WWE to make sure he was placed on a roster before the completion of the Draft.
